If you're involved in a situation that causes physical or emotional personal injury to yourself, the best thing to do is seek immediate help. If you end up going through with legal proceedings, seeking help document the diagnosis and recommended treatment for your condition.
If you suffer a physical personal injury, visit a doctor as soon as you can, and the sooner the better. This way, the doctor can give an accurate description of your condition and prepare you for immediate treatment. You can only benefit in the long run.
If you suffer a emotional personal injury, seek professional help via a psychiatrist or a trusted, credible adviser. This person can help you cope with your emotions and possibly assist. Just as important, this adviser can vouch for the emotions you felt at the time of the personal injury.
